I am trying to convert a simple LaTeX file that uses biblatex-chicago for citation formatting to, say, .docx via Pandoc. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to find the right invocation of Pandoc that results in a bibliography (or even the citations) included in the doc.
What I'm proposing doesn't have any complicated formulas, tables, or figures--just the bibliography. This question's author seems to have gotten the bibliography working with Pandoc, though it appears he's maybe using straight up bibtex with maybe the natbib citation commands.
Sample LaTeX (foo.tex):
% !TeX TS-program = pdflatexmk
% !BIB TS-program = biber
\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{article} % for a short document
% Bibliography
\usepackage[authordate,strict,bibencoding=inputenc,doi=true,isbn=false,backend=biber]{biblatex-chicago}
\addbibresource{./foo.bib}
\title{On Banality}
\author{Bob Dwyre}
\date{}
%%% BEGIN DOCUMENT
\begin{document}
\raggedbottom
\maketitle
People typically prefer to travel shorter distances than longer distances \parencite{zipf1946p1}. \textcite{dijkstra1959note} proposes one way of finding the shortest path.
\printbibliography
\end{document}
And a sample .bib (foo.bib):
@article{dijkstra1959note,
Author = {Dijkstra, Edsger W},
Date-Added = {2014-04-28 19:35:12 +0000},
Date-Modified = {2014-04-28 19:35:12 +0000},
Journal = {Numerische mathematik},
Number = {1},
Pages = {269--271},
Publisher = {Springer},
Title = {A note on two problems in connexion with graphs},
Volume = {1},
Year = {1959}}
@article{zipf1946p1,
Author = {Zipf, George Kingsley},
Date-Added = {2014-04-28 19:32:00 +0000},
Date-Modified = {2014-04-28 19:32:00 +0000},
Journal = {American sociological review},
Pages = {677--686},
Publisher = {JSTOR},
Title = {The P1 P2/D hypothesis: On the intercity movement of persons},
Year = {1946}}
My invocation of Pandoc is as follows, but I see nothing related to bibliography in the final output:
pandoc -o foo.docx foo.tex --biblatex --bibliography=foo.bib
docx
from a markdown file? Also, it's probably irrelevant, but I would invoke the pandoc command in this case aspandoc --biblatex --bibliography=foo.bib foo.tex -o foo.docx
(pandoc pandoc-options input-file output-file).
